The first bar graph shows how much disk space is currently occupied by Windows and
how much space is still available. The second bar graph shows how the space would
be distributed after the resizing, according to YaST's current proposal. See
"Resizing the Windows Partition"
slider to change the partition sizing (within certain limits).
If you leave this dialog by selecting Next, the settings are stored and you are returned
to the previous dialog. The actual resizing takes place later, before the hard disk is for-
matted.
IMPORTANT: Windows Systems Installed on NTFS Partitions
By default, the Windows versions NT, 2000, and XP use the NTFS file system.
Unlike FAT file systems, NTFS file systems can only be read from Linux. This
means you can read your Windows files from Linux, but you cannot edit them.
If you want write access to your Windows data and do not need the NTFS file
system, reinstall Windows on a FAT32 file system. In this case, you will have
full access to your Windows data from SUSE Linux Enterprise.
3.9.2 Software
SUSE Linux Enterprise contains a number of software packages for various application
purposes. Click Software in the suggestion window to start the software selection and
modify the installation scope according to your needs. Select your categories from the
list in the middle and see the description in the right window. Each category contains
a number of software packages that meet most requirements for that category. For more
detailed selection of software packages to install, select Details to switch to the YaST
Package Manager. See
Package Manager"
NOTE: Default Desktop
The default desktop of SUSE Linux Enterprise is GNOME. To install KDE, click
